The Metal 2000 model provides the saturated, aggressive modern American high-gain core of Synyster's Hellwin/Uberschall rig. Your ESP F-50's passive humbuckers lack the ultra-high output and thick low-end of Invader pickups, so Bass is pushed to 7 with Gain at 7 to restore body. The Mustang LT25 faceplate has no physical presence control, so top-end bite is shaped directly via Treble at 7.
